The Royal Perth

Great spot. Great service bringing out the food and drinks. No need to go to the bar. Awesome little balcony overlooking the street crossing. You used to be able to catch some winter sun here but the new ECU building is casting afternoon shade. Great sound track too.

The Royal is one of those places that just stole my heart ❤️. When I’m in the mood for a beer or a cocktail without making it a whole “event,” this is the spot 🍻🍸. Now, let’s talk prices — if you follow my page Hungry Italians Perth, you already know what’s coming: the infamous Perth Tax™ 💸. I’ve made peace with it at this point — Perth is expensive, and The Royal is no exception 😅. If I were being objective, it’d be a solid 4⭐️ — but since it’s my comfort pub, I’m going with 5 stars from the heart ❤️🔥.

Caution: this photo is from the restaurant called Alba cross the road from this place. And I don’t have current photo of what they served me as I didn’t have time to take pics. Alba charges 44bucks for steak of 250g. And this place charges 42bucks for the same size steak with chips. Unfortunately this place has significantly substandard. Meat was way too thin to cook medium rare that I requested. Definitely not worth 42bucks in any aspect. Mine last night came out as medium well if that(no pink bit), too thin, any chef couldn’t make medium rare with that thickness. I have never returned food back to the kitchen in my life but I had to. The management gave me free of charge after cooking again for me, however my friends all finished their dinner by the time my meal came out. I took it home in the paper container. Ruined my dinner and I won’t come back for dinner here. Good place for beer though. A lot of room to improve.

Didn't eat. Shared a bottle of wine on balcony overlooking peak hour and ECU construction. Beautiful historic pub with a great atmosphere. Loved it.

The royal was a great pub to stop at for a beer. Then we decided to eat at the pizza bar downstairs and it was fantastic. Staff member Irwin went above and beyond to help us out with a last min request and the food was sensational. Can't recommend highly enough.

Visited the Royal for drinks many times, today we stopped off and grabbed a bit to eat. Chilli squid was drenched in paprika, deep fried to death. Chips in the peri peri chicken were also coated in paprika. Manager was very apologetic and a refund was offered. Service was solid, only the food was unacceptable. We will still come back.

We did the private dining room experience, 10 people. 2 courses, $65. Exceptional value. Point of difference was the table service and ordering drinks; guests paid for each drink with the eftpos terminal at the table. Avoiding splitting the bill at the end of the night was the best.

Had a wonderful lunch here, served by a lovely young Brazilian lady behind the bar, she was so patient and pleasant as we asked about the various items on the menu. We had the steak special, it was superb and really good value! Highly recommend and look forward to returning!

A nice venue in the city and close to Perth RAC arena. The upstairs bar is very efficient. We ordered king prawn salad and beer battered snapper to share. Took about 35 minutes for our food to arrive on a Thursday evening. The food this evening was really mediocre unfortunately. My husband ordered Beer battered snapper which of course he didn't mind but I didn't think it was that great. A bit flavorless and soggy. The King prawn salad was just a bit strange. It looked like they threw In yesterday's leftovers because there were some cold limp rice noodles mixed in that was not listed on the menu. Very underwhelming and for the prices here I guess I expected more. We have been here for a weekend lunch one other time a couple years ago and I recall it being much better. The building itself is very old and well-restored. The bar staff are friendly enough. The food was just average though.

Lower the music so we cam actually hear ourselves thinking. Food was really expensive (80 aud for 2 drinks and 2 burgers!!! Heck i could have eaten better and cheaper in LA for that price ) Quality was average.... 'been to real Pubs in England (1 of them 400 years old and still in business in Exeter...) Anyway, don t waste your time and money in there!
